As of the brief, the Indian diaspora in Tajikistan is estimated at approximately 2,150 individuals. Of these, around 1,900 are students pursuing medical studies at various universities and medical institutions.
A small Indian business community exists in Tajikistan. Other members of the community are employed in international organisations, education, banking, hospitality, healthcare and other sectors.
Historical and cultural ties
The brief states that India and Tajikistan share strong historical, cultural and linguistic ties, and that deep-rooted historical and cultural linkages have facilitated cultural exchanges and the people-to-people relationship between the two countries.
The brief also records "great liking for Indian culture in Tajikistan". Indian films and TV serials dubbed in Russian and Persian are routinely shown on local TV channels.
Swami Vivekananda Cultural Centre and yoga
The Swami Vivekananda Cultural Centre in Dushanbe promotes Indian culture through a wide range of events and programmes. The Centre regularly conducts classes in Indian classical dance, music, yoga and Hindi.
The brief describes yoga as very popular among local people in Tajikistan. Every year the International Day of Yoga is celebrated not only by the cultural centre but also by many private individuals and yoga centres in cities and towns across Tajikistan.
Indian languages and studies
Several India Study Corners have been set up by the Embassy of India in prominent universities and institutions in Dushanbe and other cities of Tajikistan. The brief states that they cater to increasing demand for the study of Indian languages and Yoga. Since January 2019, ICCR has established a Hindi-Urdu Chair at the Tajik National University in Dushanbe.
Scholarships and youth exchanges
ICCR provides 30 scholarships to Tajik citizens annually for higher education at leading Indian universities and institutes. Tajik citizens interested in these scholarships should confirm current conditions through official Indian channels.
Youth delegations from Tajikistan have regularly taken part in the India-Central Asia Youth Forums. These are hosted and sponsored by the Ministry of External Affairs and the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, Government of India.
Intangible cultural heritage
The 'Culture of Sumanak (Sumalak) cooking' from Tajikistan was inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity during the 20th session of the UNESCO Intergovernmental Committee. That session was held in New Delhi on 10 December 2025, and the brief records that the inscription was well received in Tajikistan.
Honorary consuls and confirming requirements
Tajikistan is represented in India only by its Embassy in New Delhi; the register lists no honorary consuls. Where a country appoints honorary consuls, they have limited powers and do not provide the full range of services of an embassy. Visa, document and other requirements should always be confirmed directly with the Embassy of Tajikistan.
